Using a 3/8" wrench, loosen the two nuts on the black brace enough to slide the wooden steering bar in between the two plates. (Be sure the brace is on correctly - the longer part should be pointing toward the front of the sled and the shorter part toward the back of the sled, as shown at right.)

Slide the wooden steering bar in between the two black plates as shown at right. The beveled holes should be facing up.

Insert screws into the two holes, then tighten the nuts of all four screws until secure.

Place ends of rope down through the beveled holes in the steering bar. Tie a knot in each end.

"We love this sled. I bought if for my teenage boys who are not small and ride this sled very fast down huge, steep hills. They love it and it holds up to their abuse. Beautiful item also."

"I have been wanting one of these since I used one at a friends house last winter.......It was a blast! I think I need the longer one though...
I made myself a promise that before next winters snow I'm getting one."

"Minimal assembly required but holes do not align properly. It can be made to work but the craftsmanship is average at best. "

"Almost no assembly is required, but what little there is does not go together. The T bar will not fit between the metal braces and allow all of the screw to line up with the necessary holes.
Worked with customer service and both sleds exhibited the same problem."
